THE USE OF pARATRlpTlcS.
Physiological Reasons for the Cravings
Common to tn. Human Race.

the users. Their universal use proves
their value To the human family. and the
antiquity of their Use demonst rates the
continuity of human nature As whole.
In all these things there has been no
change. There has been development and
combination and evolution. but we today
go into IA house when il rains for precisely
the same reason that the primitive man
sought his cave. We eat when We are
hungry and sleep when we are tired for
just the same reasons that he did.
Applying the same reasoning to the
question in hand, we find that universally

There must be some physiological rea-

a craving common TO the human race.
Man has not chosen these things because
they afford him pleasure or enjoyment
That some of them do is an effect, not a

Nelson's business college, in the Arcade.
opens its regular season next Monday. and
indications at present are for more pros
porous year than ever. From the extensive
correspondence during the vacation. it Is
evident that the number of new students
will be largely in excess Of the usual acces-
sions. and Mr.. X. j. Nelson and the rest OF
the faculty are making extensive prepara-
ton, with this fact in view. Nelson's bus
iness college is household word through
out Ohio and adjoining states. and ranks as
the peer of the best colleges in the country.
II has indeed Q record of which any insti-
tuition might be proud. Its splendid loca-
ton, its abundant size. its admirable meth
DDS of instruction and its high and thorough
raputability, put it clearly at the head OF
Ohio business colleges. Remember it opens

We have now entered into the new
year and the planters will soon be prepa-

couraged, The Messenger advises the
planter and labOrers to renew their cOu-
rage and cast aside the trials and disap-
pointments Of the past year, and plant
their plow into the soil with the firm de-
termination of making first of all, food
crops, such as corn, potatoes, hay, fodder
vegetables, fruits &C., and raise their
meat and poultry, in order to sustain
themselves On their own labor and not to
depend upon advances of provision and
money at rates which are far beyond
their means. And when they will have
at home all the necessaries of life, then
they could plant little cotton, cane or
other money crops, and in very short
time the planter will be independent
and prosperous.

made was Stock Exchange magnate.

succulent; the Stock Exchange man liked
them and an off hand friendship sprung
up forthwith. The Stock Exchange man
was bear, and the youth from Cork
was invited into the ranks. In went
his $500 promptly. He didn't have long
to wait: little by little the stock market
began to split; soon it was wide open.
The 500 swelled into 5000 in q few days;
then it grew to twice 5000 and when

abandon the cane culture and plant cot
ton the coming season. The labOrers do
not like the present system of the owners
